DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0015] Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-5, a
combination bed in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the
present invention comprises a front frame 1, a rear frame 2
detachably connected with the front frame 1, and a connecting frame
3 mounted between the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 so that
the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are supported and combined
together by the connecting frame 3.
[0016] The front frame 1 includes a front support 10, two front
bars 11 each having a first end pivotally connected with the front
support 10 and a second end connected with the rear frame 2, and a
front connecting bar 12 mounted between the front bars 11. Each of
the front bars 11 of the front frame 1 has a side provided with a
mounting portion 111 connected with the front connecting bar 12.
The second end of each of the front bars 11 has a face provided
with a front locking member 113. The front connecting bar 12 of the
front frame 1 has two opposite ends each mounted on the mounting
portion 111 of a respective one of the front bars 11. The front
connecting bar 12 of the front frame 1 has a bottom provided with a
front leg 121 abutting the ground.
[0017] The rear frame 2 includes a rear support 20, two rear bars
21 each having a first end pivotally connected with the rear
support 20 and a second end connected with a respective one of the
front bars 11 of the front frame 1, and a rear connecting bar 22
mounted between the rear bars 21. Each of the rear bars 21 of the
rear frame 2 has a side provided with a mounting section 211
connected with the rear connecting bar 22. The second end of each
of the rear bars 21 is juxtaposed to the second end of the
respective front bar 11. The second end of each of the rear bars 21
has a face provided with a rear locking member 213. The rear
connecting bar 22 of the rear frame 2 has two opposite ends each
mounted on the mounting section 211 of a respective one of the rear
bars 21. The rear connecting bar 22 of the rear frame 2 has a
bottom provided with a rear leg 221 abutting the ground.
[0018] The connecting frame 3 has a bottom provided with at least
one support leg 32 abutting the ground. The connecting frame 3 has
two opposite ends each provided with two locking pieces 31, wherein
one of the locking pieces 31 of the connecting frame 3 is locked
onto the front locking member 113 of a respective one of the front
bars 11, and the other one of the locking pieces 31 of the
connecting frame 3 is locked onto the rear locking member 213 of a
respective one of the rear bars 21. Preferably, one of the locking
pieces 31 of the connecting frame 3 is inserted into the front
locking member 113 of the respective front bar 11 from a bottom of
the front locking member 113, and the other one of the locking
pieces 31 of the connecting frame 3 is inserted into the rear
locking member 213 of the respective rear bar 21 from a bottom of
the rear locking member 213. Each of the opposite ends of the
connecting frame 3 is provided with a bottom plate 30 abutting a
bottom of the respective front bar 11 and the respective rear bar
21. Each of the locking pieces 31 of the connecting frame 3 is
formed on and extended upward from the bottom plate 30.
[0019] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the
second end of one of the front bars 11 has an end portion provided
with a protruding front connecting portion 112, and the second end
of one of the rear bars 21 has an end portion provided with a
protruding rear connecting portion 212. Thus, the front connecting
portion 112 of one of the front bars 11 is inserted into and
connected with the second end of the other one of the rear bars 21,
and the rear connecting portion 212 of one of the rear bars 21 is
inserted into and connected with the second end of the other one of
the front bars 11.
[0020] In assembly, each of the two opposite ends of the front
connecting bar 12 is mounted on the mounting portion 111 of the
respective front bar 11 so that the front connecting bar 12 of the
front frame 1 is mounted between the front bars 11. Then, each of
the two opposite ends of the rear connecting bar 22 is mounted on
the mounting section 211 of the respective rear bar 21 so that the
rear connecting bar 22 of the rear frame 2 is mounted between the
rear bars 21. Then, the front connecting portion 112 of one of the
front bars 11 is inserted into the second end of the other one of
the rear bars 21, and the rear connecting portion 212 of one of the
rear bars 21 is inserted into the second end of the other one of
the front bars 11 so that the front bars 11 of the front frame 1
are connected with the rear bars 21 of the rear frame 2
respectively. Then, one of the locking pieces 31 of the connecting
frame 3 is inserted into the front locking member 113 of the
respective front bar 11 from the bottom of the front locking member
113, and the other one of the locking pieces 31 of the connecting
frame 3 is inserted into the rear locking member 213 of the
respective rear bar 21 from the bottom of the rear locking member
213 so that the connecting frame 3 is mounted between the front
frame 1 and the rear frame 2. At this time, the locking pieces 31
of the connecting frame 3 are closely combined with the front
locking member 113 of each of the front bars 11 and the rear
locking member 213 of each of the rear bars 21 by the gravity of
the front bars 11 of the front frame 1 and the rear bars 21 of the
rear frame 2 so that the connecting frame 3 is mounted between the
front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 solidly and stably.
[0021] On the contrary, when the user wishes to dismantle the
combination bed, one of the locking pieces 31 of the connecting
frame 3 is detached from the front locking member 113 of the
respective front bar 11, and the other one of the locking pieces 31
of the connecting frame 3 is detached from the rear locking member
213 of the respective rear bar 21 so that the connecting frame 3 is
detached from the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2. Then, the
front connecting portion 112 of one of the front bars 11 is
detached from the second end of the other one of the rear bars 21,
and the rear connecting portion 212 of one of the rear bars 21 is
detached from the second end of the other one of the front bars 11
so that the front bars 11 of the front frame 1 are detached from
the rear bars 21 of the rear frame 2 respectively. Then, each of
the two opposite ends of the rear connecting bar 22 is detached
from the mounting section 211 of the respective rear bar 21 so that
the rear connecting bar 22 of the rear frame 2 is detached from the
rear bars 21. Then, each of the two opposite ends of the front
connecting bar 12 is detached from the mounting portion 111 of the
respective front bar 11 so that the front connecting bar 12 of the
front frame 1 is detached from the front bars 11.
[0022] As shown in FIG. 6, the front bars 11 of the front frame 1
are folded, and the rear bars 21 of the rear frame 2 are folded so
that the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are folded when not in
use to reduce the volume of the combination bed.
[0023] Accordingly, the front frame 1, the rear frame 2 and the
connecting frame 3 can be connected and disconnected so that the
combination bed is assembled and disassembled easily and quickly.
In addition, the combination bed can be detached to have a smaller
volume before assembly, thereby greatly facilitating and saving the
cost of packaging, storage and transportation of the combination
bed.
[0024] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its
preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood
that many other possible modifications and variations can be made
without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is,
therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will
cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true
scope of the invention.
